Imperial Oil has rolled out the Speedpass+ mobile app to 1,000 Esso-branded gas stations across Canada, allowing customers to pay for fuel and car washes, as well as accessing offers and points.

“Customers can easily and securely authorise a pump for payment through the use of cloud-based technology, which does not require waving or tapping a smartphone at a pump or payment device,” says Imperial.

The launch of the Speedpass+ mobile app follows a successful pilot program at 15 Esso gas stations in March 2016. Imperial Oil was the first major fuel retailer to introduce pay-at-the-pump technology in the country.

“This combination distinguishes the Speedpass+ app as the next generation of customer payment and loyalty programming for the Canadian retail fuel industry,” said Andrew Mackay, retail fuels manager at Imperial.
